Description
Making spaces accessible for people with sensory sensitivities—high sensitivity, neurodivergence, and histories of trauma—improves productivity, health, and learning outcomes. Understanding the sensory impact of architectural decisions makes a significant impact on long-term building usability. This discussion will explore the many different types of sensory sensitivity, debunk some myths about neurodivergence, and illustrate the benefits of sensory accessibility for all people.
